You don't say which battery wire is getting hot, as a rule any wire getting hot is because of resistance and under some circumstances such as a short circuit in an un-fused line it will catch fire and/or set something else on fire.
Check for cracked insulation or wires rubbing on ground but do fix it soon.
If the wire is getting warm as opposed to HOT make sure all contacts are clean and the right gauge wire is being used.

If you press wire to both ends of a battery will it explode or just get very hot?
It will get very hot if nothing but the battery is connected with wire but it won't explode...., in science class we did this, it's called electricity. All you're doing is making an electric circuit. Try connecting wire to a lightbulb, and touch the battery on both ends with the wire also. It will light the lightbulb up. Maybe go back to elementary school. lol
